at the world right now, Pierre Thomas was talking to (the) Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday on this, and he says he's
never seen a more dangerous time. // And, I think that’s right. And it’s
exactly what I was talking about. You really can’t prioritize. There’s so much going on. // There’s so much potential
